| − | '''American Pale Ale (APA)''' is a [[beer style|style]] of [[American]] beer based at least originally on beers of the British [[pale ale]] tradition. They are pale to amber in color and generally their flavor and aroma is centered around the citrusy and pine character of American [[hops]] with caramel-like [[malt]] flavors and fruity [[esters]] from the ale yeast playing a supporting role. [http://www.bjcp.org/styles04/Category10.html#style10A] The style evolved in tandem with a renewed interest in [[ale]]s and the insurgence of [[Microbrewery|microbreweries]] in the United States which brought about a new focus on American hops.[http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter19-3.html] |
